The fireworks decoration needs to be changed to fictional tag. It is completely ridiculous that this annoying decoration that just takes away from any immersion and realism that this game has is forced on everyone. It has actually gotten me killed now from sounds of them exploding get spammed and I cannot hear tanks approaching and is affecting gameplay

We have an ongoing thread for this exact topic/issue friend 👍 Come join us on this one. We are working to get the fictional tag added and/or figure out a way to make a mod to allow players to mute/hide it themselves manually.
I would encourage you to go ahead and copy+paste your post over there so everyone else can see it:
ngl i think a roman candle is much better than another anime collab

You guys are soo weird.
I didn’t know it was the decoration making that sound. At first I thought it was my parrot sneezing. I kept getting up to check the cage.

How is it unrealistic?
No one will be able to answer that question without making something else on tanks “unrealistic” to them.
The reality is, it’s not unrealistic.
Is it silly? Yeah.
Is it distracting? Not to me. If anything it helps me spot enemies easier.

Yah man I love watching videos from ongoing conflicts where a tank destroys another tank, and the ‘winning’ tank lights off fireworks immediately in celebration

That has nothing to do with realism though.
That’s what happens historically, which real life soldiers have done far, far sillier things than War Thunder allows.
The military isn’t some super serious apparatus of mindless soldiers.

You are a great artist you should try to paint something and see if it gets submitted to the Louvre Museum.

Yes, however having the option to disable it so you don’t have to hear it would be a fantastic QOL option.
Simple solution: Keep the visual, give the option to disable the soundFX of it.

I love watching videos of ongoing conflicts where both sides spawn in and capture points then respawn once they die.
War thunder is not a ‘realistic’ game as far as gameplay & mechanics, so why are we treating it like one.
If people want the diehard milsim experience feel free to head over to Arma or Squad
Maybe they shouldn’t market as the most realistic online game then huh

It’s distracting and annoying and has no place in the game. It was a novelty item whose gimmick has worn off, and it’s now just a distraction.
Nobody is asking for you to have it forced off, we are asking to not have it forced on us. Because some of us do find it highly distracting and annoying.

Let’s take that a step further using your argument, 7.7 machine guns should be removed from tanks. There’s no infantry and it’s just a distracting gimmick. ;)
Not my view, but your argument is easily used against you because it’s founded on being a novelty and gimmick, which 7.7 machine guns have been for over 10 years now.
What are you talking about?
“Realistic Military Vehicles”
Bringing me onto the sequel to that last post, if you noticed how I said they never claim the gameplay itself to be in any way accurate or realistic.
Gaijin markets War Thunder as an accessible platform to unlock and play ‘Realistic’ Vehicles in various accurate, and fictional maps & modes.
The actual damage modelling and attention to detail is fairly high standard, and where a bulk of the marketing is focused, only seconded by certain "historical’ locations based on real battles.
Just to clarify, Gaijin has never stated that WT is a milsim, or attempting in any way to depict real warfare, so a little firework launcher isn’t going to ‘break immersion’ if you’re playing 3 cap domination on alaska against non-historical matchmade teams.
I feel the argument about realism is a bit of a joke. There are many things about this game that would argue against that. Especially when we start talking about balancing. Now if it was a remove for sim battles sure. But there is hardly anything realistic about RB.
